Yes, but then we would have been eating $2.5M of dead money next year, as opposed to zero with the way we're doing it.

If you release a player after June 1 then you get to push off a portion of the dead money burden until next year. The Redskins chose to take the hit now to increase flexibility next year. Wise, given that Reed, Cousins, the WRs and others will all be up for new deals.
